Works for CGY, but I don't see CAR going for it.

A deal around Andersson and Necas is more likely IMO.

Kuzmenko will likely be traded with retention at the deadline for picks. Most likely he'll bring back something between a 2nd and a 4th depending on performance.

Canes pass. Not trading Necas for a guy with up and down effort and only 1 year left

Canes have 0 interest in a Necas for Andersson sway. I like Andersson, Canes do not need more D men, they need a stop gap next year until Nikishin comes over, then Orlov can flip to the right side, where he played growing up. They would need another scorer coming back for Necas, Calgary cannot offer that because they lack it themselves

I think this is really close and does a good job showing the Cap Crunch the Canes are facing.

A few things I see as up in the air.
1. It's possible you flip/flop Necas and Guntzel. Necas won't cost 9M (my guess is 6.5-7.5) and 4 years younger. Guntzel is great but if he goes to market he's getting 9+ easy and hard to see Canes paying market rate.

2. The Canes have a decision to make on Necas but they don't have to decide that fate this summer. They can carry him into next season through a short term contract or arbitration if it comes to that (which would almost guarantee he's gone after, but it's an option).

3. I would expect the Canes to try to move KK. With the entire center group (assuming you're right and in the ballpark with Drury) back next season, Canes just can't go into a cup window year with 4.8M as a 4C or bottom 6 winger.

4. Out of Skjei/Pesce I agree the Pesce option is the more likely but I don't see him fetching that much. This will sounds low but I don't see the Canes going past 5Y/5.25M.

All in all, I think you've done a nice job and something that is realistic (outside of maybe the Necas trade because I do agree if he is traded that Calgary doesn't have the type of assets Carolina would be looking for in return. Trade could very much happen but I'd be surprised if it's with that team.)
